Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 187 Poisoning
In the martial arts world, fighting poison with poison is a very common medical theory.

But Lu Ping was not worried about this.

"Don't worry, I know a little bit about medicine."

"I carefully selected these poisons over the course of a night. The properties of the drugs do not conflict with each other, so the phenomenon you described will not occur. As long as we are careful when poisoning them, there won't be any problems."

Murong Jiu nodded, and then asked curiously: "Where did you get so many poisons?"

"Have you forgotten what we got from the Emei Underground Palace?"

Murong Jiu was stunned when he heard this, and after a long while he finally reacted: "So it was at that time..."

In that underground palace, there were many extremely rare poisons looted by Ouyang Ting. Lu Ping gave those things to Lin Pingzhi and asked him to help transport them back to Taiping Town. They have been stored in his home since then.

After the meeting last night, Lu Ping went out of his way to find those things.

There were many treasures and poisons in the underground palace. Lu Ping also got the water of death from it.

That was a deadly water that was still in the experimental stage. It didn't even have the effect of "recovering from injuries". Taking it would only cause skin and flesh ulcers as a side effect.

However, Lu Ping did not plan to use the Death Water this time. The reason was just as Murong Jiu said just now. The dosage was too small and it would easily lose its effect after being diluted with water.

So Lu Ping chose another poison.

"Here are Five Poison Powder, Thousand Chicken Powder, Ten Fragrance Softening Powder, Strong Laxative, Super Knockout Drug, Seven Star Begonia..."

Lu Ping took the bottles and jars in his hand and introduced them to Murong Jiu one by one.

"Most of these poisons are colorless and tasteless, and they don't take effect immediately, so after taking them, they won't be alert immediately. After a while, even if they realize something is wrong, it will be too late by then."

Seeing that Lu Ping was so well prepared, Murong Jiu felt relieved.

"One last question, are you sure they are still within their shelf life?"

“Well…hahahaha…”

Lu Ping smiled awkwardly, "The medicine should be effective, but I'm not sure about the specific effect and how long it will last. After all, time is tight, and I haven't had time to verify it one by one."

“But this is the best option at the moment.”

Murong Jiu nodded, thinking that what Lu Ping said made sense.

Soon, Lu Ping relied on the explosive speed of the Water and Wind Step and took action without anyone noticing.

In buckets, in boilers, on food...

Wherever you look, there is rain and dew.

In less than an incense stick of time, more than ten bottles of poison were used up.

Back on the roof, Lu Ping was still neither red-faced nor out of breath.

"I suddenly thought of something."

"what's up?"

Murong Jiu said, "What if that Xuanzi spy also ate these meals?"

Lu Ping had never thought about this question.

"Uh... do you think she might just go on a hunger strike tonight?"

Murong Jiu was speechless: "If she wanted to go on a hunger strike, she would have done it on the first day she was locked up in the cell. How many days have passed now? It's more likely that she just couldn't hold on today..."

Lu Ping didn't know what to say.

"I heard that Shangguan Haitang once took the strange man Wuhen as his teacher and learned some medical, divination and astrology skills."

"Now we can only hope that she is good at medicine and can tell that the food has been poisoned and chooses not to eat tonight, or that she is lucky enough and the poison she eats is not very strong."

"If you die, it can only mean that this is your fate."

After administering the drug, it was really just a matter of waiting.

Eating and sleeping are the two times when most people are most relaxed in the day.

Lu Ping planned to wait until the people from Xijianliu started to eat before taking action.

But Murong Jiu couldn't wait that long, so she chose to leave the kitchen and go to other places in the Xijianliu base to find where Shangguan Haitang might be imprisoned, so as to complete the mission as soon as possible and go back earlier.

After she left, Lu Ping looked at the girl's back and shook his head helplessly.

"I'm still too impatient..."

As time passed, the sun above our heads gradually set, the afterglow of the sunset faded, and then the sky was shrouded in darkness.

Lu Ping opened his eyes.

The Xijianliu army has started cooking, so it’s time for me to take action too.

But why were those three so slow? Could they have been caught?
As soon as this thought came to Lu Ping's mind, he rejected it.

If someone really had been arrested, Xijianliu should have made a fuss long ago.

Lu Ping's martial arts skills were already superb, and after nightfall he had an extra layer of cover, and he moved silently. In the huge Xijianliu camp, he came and went as he pleased, as if he were in an empty space.

A moment later, I suddenly saw a suspicious person sneaking out of a room not far away at the edge of my vision.

Looking closely, it was Duan Tianya.

Lu Ping stabilized his body and deliberately stomped his feet twice on the spot to make some noise.

Duan Tianya heard the noise and saw Lu Ping's appearance. He looked around to make sure there was no one there. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and flew over.

"Brother Duan, have you found anything?"

Duan Tianya shook his head: "I searched for a long time and only found a room where documents were stored, but it seemed to be the study room of the original gang members in this place. There were no files related to the Western Sword School."

"As expected. If the traitor can be found so easily, then the people from the Western Sword School are really useless."

Lu Ping paused after saying this, "Isn't Brother Gui with you?"

"…He was worried about Haitang's safety, so he went to look for someone first."

Duan Tianya said: "Since we can't find any information about the insider, the best thing for now is to find Haitang's whereabouts first."

"Okay, I just checked all the way from the northwest corner and didn't find anything suspicious. Do you have any clues?"

"I came from the southwest corner, but also found nothing. I think the cell should be somewhere else." So the two of them set off and headed towards the area that had not been explored.

Not long after, I heard a faint noise coming from the distance.

"It seems that the poison we used earlier has started to take effect. We need to speed up!"

Duan Tianya nodded and was about to move forward when he suddenly saw two people walking hurriedly in front of him and suddenly stopped.

Lu Ping looked over there and found that they were just two ordinary-looking demon characters, nothing special.

"Is there anything suspicious about those two people?"

"The person walking in front is wearing a jade pendant that Haitang wears all year round."

Lu Ping looked up and found that the man really had a green jade pendant hanging around his waist.

The color of the jade pendant was not bright, not to mention that it was night time and the surroundings were dim, so it was not easy to see the shape of the jade pendant clearly.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping couldn't help but turn his head to look at Duan Tianya, secretly admiring him in his heart.

"You really deserve to be the number one spy of Hulong Villa. You have such good eyesight that you can see even in such dim light..."

Duan Tianya smiled modestly: "When I was in Japan, I learned the art of phantom sword from the strange man Mian Kuang Shilang. He has unique skills in finding and reflecting objects."

Lu Ping suddenly realized: "So that's how it is..."

"Hey, wait! So why are you so familiar with the things on the mysterious agent?!"

Duan Tianya was stunned.

"Is there anything strange about that?"

"That was something my foster father gave to Haitang several years ago. Of course I remember it!"

Fine……

Seeing that the two people below were gradually walking away, Lu Ping and Duan Tianya no longer hesitated, and took action directly, flying over to capture and subdue the two people neatly, and then pulled them hard again, dragging them directly into a dark corner.

The two soldiers were completely confused the whole time. Before they could react to what was happening, they found themselves being controlled by someone. Not only were their acupuncture points pressed, making them unable to move, but they might even die on the spot if they were not careful. They were so frightened that they turned pale and spoke incoherently.

"Two...two heroes... spare my life, spare my life!!"

"If you have anything to say, just talk it over and don't do anything..."

Duan Tianya didn't waste any words. He took off the jade pendant that belonged to Shangguan Haitang and asked, "Tell me, where is the owner of this jade pendant imprisoned?"

"In... in the cell."

Duan Tianya looked at Lu Ping, reached out and knocked the other man unconscious, then held the man hostage and released his acupuncture points: "Take us over."

"I...I know."

With his life in someone's hands, the soldier from the Western Sword School naturally did not dare to delay and walked forward nervously.

This soldier was originally a prison guard, otherwise he wouldn't have Shangguan Haitang's jade pendant on him.

The cell was not far away, and the three of them arrived there in just a few minutes.

But these few short minutes were a torture for the three men, because the hostage soldier was actually running around while walking!

Not only were his legs shaking as he walked, but his odor grew worse over time, and he left a foul-smelling yellow-black fluid in the path he walked on.

In order to control the soldier's actions, Duan Tianya stood relatively close to him, and thus for the first time in his life he endured an unexpected magical attack.

Lu Ping was far behind, feeling a little embarrassed.

The soldier must have eaten the food in which he had put a powerful laxative, which is why he behaved so badly, not because he was afraid.

Feel sorry for him for a second.

The prison cell was right in front of him. Duan Tianya finally couldn't control his emotions and knocked the soldier who was leading the way unconscious with a palm.

Then he turned and looked at Lu Ping: "Haitang should be in here, let's go in."

Lu Ping nodded, followed his footsteps and walked into the cell.

There was a dim candlelight in the cell. There was no jailer guarding it. A half-eaten meal was placed on the table, and there were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks, indicating that there were only two guards.

If nothing unexpected happens, they are the two people who were knocked unconscious just now.

That being said, Shangguan Haitang should be the only one here now.

Lu Ping looked forward and saw a man with disheveled hair, wearing white clothes and a dirty face lying in the only cell.

Duan Tianya hurried forward, took out the key he had just searched from the soldier, opened the cell door, went in and helped the man up: "Haitang...Haitang...wake up!"

"I hope she fell asleep, and didn't take the wrong medicine, or she is afraid to see people because of diarrhea..."

As soon as Lu Ping finished speaking, something strange happened around him——

There was a click of a mechanism, and the ceiling and four walls of the cell moved at the same time, with countless tiny holes appearing and countless sharp arrows shooting out from them! !
"Fell into a trap!"

Lu Ping reacted immediately.

The arrow was so fast and so close, and it might even be poisoned. Lu Ping didn't dare to take it head-on, so he could only dodge and hide in the prison, which was the only place out of the arrow's attack range.

However, before Lu Ping could take a firm step, there was another strange noise behind him.

The warrior's instinct made him choose to spin around and fly up immediately. This clever dodge allowed him to avoid two swords that were stabbing from behind.

With a glance, he saw that the people who attacked him were none other than the other two people in the cell besides himself - Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang.

Before he could think about it, a row of sharp spears came down from the ceiling of the cage, almost piercing Lu Ping's body.

"Golden stone!"

Lu Ping immediately gathered his inner strength, slammed his palm towards the top of his head, and used the force to fall straight down, giving the fake Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang a flying kick each.

Boom—Boom—!!

With two dull thuds, the flying kick was blocked as expected.

The three of them stood in a cage of several dozen square meters, several meters apart, and the atmosphere was tense.
